Letter froui Colonel Baxter So. 4.
Editor of the i'hi'ontvlc ; v
Continuing my fevfew 1 oY' 'men and
things about Knoxville, I have now reach
ed the Johnson-Lawrence correspondence
of 1 SHI. This correspondence did not af
fect nwi but it constituted n incident' in
tb -local hiiory of KnoxVilli and-i will
serve, in some small degree, to show the
character of omt of the men with whom. I
have been contending. A the time,(about
May, 1831, and-jjust before communication
by mail was closed behveen Iast .Tennes
see and the " lojals" Stides,) a letter writ
ten iy some onj? nd, purporting to have
been written by Andrew Johnson and ad
dressed to Amos Lawrence, rBoston, Mass.,
was mailed' at Knoxville Charlton, the
presont liberal editor of the Whig, being
at the time United State Putmater In
the name of lr. 'Johnsonthi.- Jetter in
formeii 3Ir. Lawr iv-e tluit a large majori
ty of the people of "East Tennessee were
opposed to rebellion ; that, if supplied with
arms and munitions.thej could be Induced
to resist by force the effort then being made
to withdraw Tennesset from the Federal
Union, and concluded vith an earnest ap
peal for money with which to supply the
people with arms for self-defense.
Mr. Lawrence believed the letter ge-ur
ulne, and being a man of large wndth and
warmly opposed to the rebellion, responded
promptly by enclosing his check, payable
to the order of Andrew Johnson, for one
thoumnd dollar. His letter containing
this check was addressed to Andrew' John
son at Knoxville. But it did not reach
him. It was intercepted in the Knoxville
Post Office, and, in viplation of law and
the oath which Postmasters are required
by law to take, it was opened. Why this
spurious corresjioudeiu.Hs was -legun and
why Mr.CharUonT-(thei BevMiwlCharl
ton, the saintly editor of the Whiff, v, ho has
recently written so many . editorials pro
testing that he M-asi't afraid.and could not
le bought up, favoring Justice and forle:r-!
ance,-.and ? eonaescenaj.'ngly advising biff
follower and retainer not to le too ' hard 1
on Union Conservatives not to re-mire
Messrs. Williams, Fleming and Cripjen
to surrender all their preconceived itical
opinions as a condition, precedent, to their
admission into full fellowship into th.. re
organized Conservative party of Knox
eouuntv) kneMirhat Iiawrehce's letter to
Mr. Johnson was answer to the spurious
one which had lx?en previously seut to Mr.
Lawrence, I am not prepared to ssy. ' But
so it was; the letter was addressed' to Mr.
Johnson, awl was intercepted in the.Kiiox
ville Post Office. It. contained, too, the
coveted pri.Titr. thpus-ind dollar, vbtykl
but being livable to Mr.' Jolmson Vomer,
it could not be used without his endorse
ment. ;Thus an unforeseen and unexpect
ed obstacle 'intervened and thwarted the
object in which the whole plan originated.
Money they wanted and money they were
determined to have. Their resources were
equal to the emergency, and a brilliant
thought, worthy of the brain in which it
originated, came to their relief; and acting
upon its suggestion, another letter in the
name of Mr. Johnson was .forged and
mailed to Mr. Lawrence, saying that he
could not use the check without exposing
himself to detection, and his plans to dis
coverv and defeat, anl urged upon him the
ovewhelming necessity of having money,
and having it quick, m order to Have East
Tennessee and East Tennessee Unionists to
the Federal cause, and requested remit
tances In Eastern currency.
In my judgment, the first and prime
object of this spurious communication,
wjistoget money to get At i through a
false pretence to steal it from Mr. Iiaw
rence. There was a motive, ami if it was
not the one stated by me, what was ft ?
In the loose morality which has made
such alarming head-way in the -past ten
years, it may. he said the country .waa then
engaged in civil war ; that the. parties to
the foregoing nefarious scheme, were pub
lie enemies to Mr. Lawrance, and as such,
had a right to pluck him by forgery ana
falif pretence if they pould. ,1 don't think
so. There ' is y' no condition of things,
which, in 'the estimation of 'honerable
men, could justify the attempt which was
made and detailed above, to get money
from Mr.' Lawrence. But when we con
sider that the State of Tennessee was still
in the Union, and that Charlton was a
sworn officer in the Federal Government,
drawing his salary frjm the United States
Treasury, and, that ns such officer, used
his official ponition himself, or permitted
others to use it for the purpose of fobbing
citizens -adherlng-to the Government; of
which he was an officer, . his conduct lie
came so atrocious as to shock the sense of
justice and right of the most obtuse and
degraded.
But even this view of his action 'bears
no comparison in blck-henrted atrocity to
what followed. The last effort was a" 'fail
ure. The ; Eastern currency which the
second letter requested, was not forwarded
by express. '. Enragtxl at the disappoint
ment, and nerved bv a diabolical puqtose
that', dene 'diserhtlon, the first ( letter
which they" had " in ferceutcd front Law
rence, with the check which it contained,
was'without a word of explanation, sent
forward to Governor Harris, to be used . in
firing the Southern hearts, and strength
ening the rebel , cause. 1 Believing : that
they had drawn from Mr. Lawrence by
genuine letters from Mr. Johnson, Gov.
Harris caused them to be published in the
Nashville papers. The paper containing
the publication . in due course? tofi moil,
came to Knoxville. This1 part of 'it at
tracted general comment; it stimulated
Southern vengeance; Col. (aftewardsGen.)
Hindmanr of Arkansas, was here with his
regiment; news -came lhat MrJt Johnson
was then leaving the State, bv way
of Bean's Station, -Tazewell and Cum
berland (ap; Col. Hindman demanded
of the East Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad authorities, a special train with
which to run to Morristown for the pur
pose of intercepting, capturing and hang
ing Mr.-Johnson, because of his supposed
application to Mr. Lawrence for money.
Ilindnian's purpose was well understood
In the city, and must have been known to
the persons cognizant of the forgery; and
yet no explanation was given, no effort
made by any, one of the rile miscreant who
planned and executed the conspiracy! to
prevent the threatened pursuit, capture
and assassination of the victim of their inr
describable and irlsatiatemalicel '.
; Yet, after all this," with unparalleled
shamelessness and effrontery, the 'Jler.
Mr. Charlton returns here to Knoxville,
where his history. is so well. known, as
sumes the bffice'bf a public instructor, sets
himself up as a party leader, puts on airs
of superiority, uses his editorial position
to traduce better men than himself, heads
the proposed Division Fair, condescends
to "amnesty" such men as "Williams,
Fleming and Crippln " for the offence of
having been Union men, and with a Banc
timoniousness that befits a pretender, occa
sionally takes upon himself the high and
holy responsibilities of a minister of God.
Ana what is still worse, there are a few
craven, dependent4 creatures",' without the
means of self-support, hungering for small
offices, who hang around and court his edi
torial commendation, by recognizing and
associating with him as a gentleman.
Such are the men who have been making
war on me, and the above is a fair sample
of their -warfare. They scruple at noth
ing, however atrocious, to kill off those
they are unable to use. The sooner such
men are kicked out of society, degraded in
public estimation, and scorned from the
presence of honest men, the better it will
I e for society. Respectfully, Ac.,; ;

Now, as to the motive and. spirit of the edito

And, 4 to tho colored men named in it, I shall

say to you : . . ... , ... , .
lour statement about' the organization In
jinestion is incorrect, it being pimply tin organ
i .at ion by and frr K-pbliram f th tyt
and not the county. . ,
Your statement that,-Willi ; making the can
vass for the Legislature,' last summer, I de
scribed Mr. Isaac Gammon in the words quoted,
as my own, in your article, is also incorrect.
I did attempt to quote the language of your
own paper, and, us I had reason to believe, the
very words of my opponent, Mr. Fleming, used
against Mr. Gammon about the time he win
elected a KepuMican Alderman in this city, in
my exposure of an attempt on tho part of Mr.
Fleming, or some of his over-zealous friends to
buv u j Mr. Gammon to run and divide the Re
publkim vote so ns to elect him, (Mr. Fleming.)
But I did not use them as my own, nor did I
dream of making them my own. And, know
ing the danger of thin exposure, and also that my
party was suddenly left without an organ in that
race and without a single paper through
which 1 could be heard by the people, and it
right upon the eve of the election; the language
1 used was exaggerated and published and cir
culated all over the county as my own, in order
to drive the colored vote away from me.
Anil in this unfortunate and helpless condi
tion, in which I was unexpectedly thrown, I
was overwhelmed and defeated ; and none know
better Aw than 3'ou ieme gentlemen.
It did seem to me that it ought to have been
enouglvbutii appears that yiu.wcro,ruLjiuti.
d.
In the last municipal, rittest, . I happened to
be in a ward meeting and say something", if it
was in behalf of two very clever and moderate
gentlemen, whom, you saw proper to.oppose, for
Aldermen, and thereupon my name was singled
out from all the many respectable gentlemen
present, and ott'encivelyi published in connec
tion with this same untrue and unfounded
charge.
I said nothing then, believing that j u cer
tainly would not go any farther in thus adding
insult to injury. But you have now again, with
out any provocation whateror, singled me out
from among all those gentlemen of my own col
or w ith whom 1 chanced to be associated, and
hare even dragged my Jiaiue up from the tail
end of an unimportant committee, and paraded
it before tho public, Pt'gmatizing it still again
with this untrue and unjust charge.
Now, I have borne it all in silence, and till
my patience is almost worn out
"And I now respectfully, but earnestly, ask
you to correct it. and nover again use my name
m connection with it, in your paper or other
wise. And I ask it on the principle, alone, of
justice and fair dealing.; 0 y
My principles, as all know, are peace, and my
habits are to attend to my own business, and
have no difficulty with others.
But I profess to be a gentleman,, and expect
the same justice and courtesy from gentlemen
that is extended Jo other gentlemen, and due to
all gentlemen: and I have addressed you us
gentlemen, and now give you the opportunity
to prove to thi community, in , which 1 was
born and raised, that you are uch, by acting
